Property Can Make You Wealthy

Posted on April 2, 2022

Prices can make your mind make funny justifications. It’s not prices on their own though. It requires your bias and your emotion. And without thinking, you can end up on the wrong end of the stick.

There are many reasons not to own an investment property. People will share these with you whether you ask or not.

But a property in an area that is reasonably desirable, or is likely to continue to grow, can be an excellent investment.

For example, in the UK, property tends to double in value, on average, every 10 years. So, if you buy a £600,000 property with a £450,000 mortgage (75% loan to value), it should be worth about £1.2 million in 10 years and £2.4 million in 20 years.

Imagine that. One property that you put £150,000 down on as a deposit, could be worth about 4 times it’s current price in 20 years. That would leave you with nearly £2 million in equity.

That’s more than 10x on your money. You may also have received some rent in that time period too. Add that into the mix.

Now imagine that one property helped you buy two more at £800,000 on the 10th anniversary. And they went up similarly. And their mortgages stayed static. You could have about £4 million in total equity after the 20 years. Just three properties could change your life and whole financial circumstance.

Think it through. Or ask. But make it work for you. Because property can make you wealthy.

This Should Not Be Happening In 2022

Posted on April 1, 2022

I find this an odd statement, regardless of the topic. You may like something and wish it wasn’t happening, but why should it not be happening?

It’s a complex world. You live 1/8 billionth of it. Just because you think something should or shouldn’t be happening doesn’t mean everyone else is on the same page yet, or anymore.

Things shift. Life can be complicated. People might think we are so modern. I would imagine that people in 1,217 also thought they were super modern at the time. Also in 1812. Heck, there was even an overture named after that year. Impressive.

Remember, everyone here was born and had to be trained or they followed a role model. For every, single, little thing. And each one might have been different.

You may want a different world. But this is what we have. Work with it.

Allow Extra Time

Posted on March 30, 2022

This is some great advice. Whether you’re renovating a property, heading to the airport, going to an exam or interview or even just driving to a friends, you should allow some extra time for unexpected moments.

We won’t always know in advance when traffic gets heavy, someone becomes ill, or someone bumps into us on our way. Just to be sure to be early, and no later than on time, allow extra time than you think is necessary.

Keep Your Cool

Posted on March 28, 2022

Angry outbursts are rarely a good look. Especially on adults. Get some help from books, videos or therapists. You can improve if you give it some effort. It will be worth it.

Appreciate Your Mother

Posted on March 26, 2022

Mom, Mum, Mother, or whatever you call that special woman who gave birth to you or raised you.

Sunday, in the UK, is Mother’s Day. A good time to give thanks for all that your Mom has done for you. From being a wee little thing, pushing on a swing and pushing you in a pram, to helping you learn to walk and maybe read.

She’s been there trying to make your life better in any way she can. Sometimes, or rather quite often, we don’t fully understand all that our Moms do.

So call her today, visit her, write her a letter or remember her and her place in your life.

Appreciate your mother.

Have A Purpose

Posted on March 23, 2022

If you haven’t ‘found’ a purpose by now, create one. Decide what you will focus on and go all in.

No complaints. No issues. Just get your head down and drive forward with every minute. Do not allow others to distract you. Firmly tell them not now or not today.

Do these things for a week. Then a month. Then continue. Your life will change immeasurably.

Taste Or Waist?

Posted on March 20, 2022

Do you prefer to satisfy your taste or manage your waist? What’s more important to you? If I look, I will be able to see which you prefer.

There may not be a right or wrong. However, if you want one but focus on the other, happiness will elude you.

If you let yourself drift along, it will be harder for you. Being determined, committed and following through will give you a feeling of having a super power. You will love it!

Think of sugar as poison. Eating poison, or items with poison in them, would be terrible for you. Stop thinking sugary items are a treat. They are more of a threat to your health.

Focus on your waist but allow moments of taste to be fully enjoyed. Enjoy and even savour the taste of all food and drink you consume. Linger on it. Enjoy!

Who Decided To Call Green Green?

Posted on March 19, 2022

Who created the word? Does someone get credit for it? Why did they call it ‘green’ and not ‘purple’, ‘cinade’ or ‘basketball?’

Why did someone choose these 26 letters? Or earlier letters than these? The creation and selection of these letters, words, sounds and phrases seems so strange.

They seem rather random. But also completely normal now that I am so used to them. They are the code and key to everything.

Pay attention to the words you use. They mean far more than you think.
